NEW 2015 MODEL! Durable and exceptionally accurate, the Mountain Ascent is the lightest production bolt action big game rifle available today. Some of the units we sold before weighted less than seven pounds after installing the scope! This new for 2015 model is offered in the powerful 270 WSM with a short action that adds even further to the lightness and handling of the rifle and provides a myriad of factory loads for any situation!

Introduced in 2002 by Winchester, this caliber quickly took the market by storm and has become extremely popular. The 270 WSM is a clear improvement over the older 270 Winchester providing higher velocity with bullets of the same weight, and thus a flatter trajectory and more energy. Velocities tend to be about 250 fps higher in a cartridge that is shorter and can therefore be used in a shorter action for a more compact rifle.

The Kimber Mountain Ascent 270 WSM weighs 5 pounds, 14 ounces and has a Kevlar/carbon fiber stock, with Optifade™ Open Country cammo and a 1-inch Pachmayr Decelerator pad fully pillar and glass bedded. The action, bolt and barrel are of stainless steel and fluting and bolt handle holing has been done to further reduce weight.
